Multi-Chain Trading Platform Goes Public

OpenSea has officially transitioned its OS2 platform from beta to full public release, expanding its services beyond NFT trading. The upgraded marketplace now supports 【14 blockchain networks】, including Solana-based fungible tokens, with enhanced cross-chain interoperability tools. This strategic shift positions OpenSea as a comprehensive digital asset hub rather than just an NFT specialist.

Streamlining the Web3 Experience

CMO Adam Hollander revealed the platform's vision of creating unified liquidity for all onchain assets. ——"OS2 eliminates wallet-switching headaches,"—— he noted, demonstrating how users can mint Solana NFTs, trade Ronin gaming tokens, and purchase new memecoins within a single interface. The update addresses growing pain points as decentralized applications multiply across chains.

NFT Market Shows Selective Growth

Despite cooling market conditions, OpenSea reports 【40% growth】 in weekly active collectors since January 2025. Hollander attributes this to the departure of speculative "tourists" while retaining engaged users who now interact with 【2.3x more chains】 than during the 2021 peak. The trend mirrors broader NFT sector recovery, with May seeing 936,000 unique buyers—a 50% monthly increase.

Real-World Assets Gain Momentum

The platform observes growing traction in tokenized physical assets, exemplified by Courtyard's 【$20.7 million】 trading card NFT sales in April. ——"Provable ownership unlocks new industries,"—— Hollander emphasized, pointing to RWA tokenization as the next evolution phase for NFT technology. Polygon briefly surpassed Ethereum in NFT volumes during this surge.

Utility-Driven Profitability Emerges

OpenSea maintains that sustainable NFT business models require continuous utility enhancement. The company's cross-chain expansion and RWA support reflect this philosophy. Interestingly, while overall volumes remain below historic highs, platforms offering tangible use cases demonstrate stronger resilience amid market fluctuations.

Strategic Implications for Web3

OS2's launch signals OpenSea's ambition to become the primary gateway for all onchain activities. By solving multi-chain fragmentation and bridging digital-physical assets, the platform aims to capture value from Web3's next growth phase—where verifiable ownership enables novel economic models across industries.
